I've been at my job almost three months now and I like my company pretty well. It's a fairly small company (about 30 employees), but not too small to be really stressful with too wide a range of responsibilities like one of my previous jobs. It's not as big as my job at First Southwest either, where, at least outside of my immediate co-workers, it felt like I was just one of the hundreds that worked in that big corporate environment.
We get free tea every day and free food once a month for birthdays. Just being in downtown Seattle on the 28th floor is cool. The view is one of the coolest things about my job. I've never had this great of a view at work and few people I know have. I can see so much water, tons of ships, mountains, and other downtown buildings.
My job is a little slow right now and not the most interesting, but I like my co-workers a lot. They're very friendly and talkative and a lot of them are around my age, which is nice. In fact, a group of us is going to a Mariners game in mid-July, which will be fun.
I also like the laid-back culture, which includes casual Fridays, and the fact that I don't have wear a suit or work any overtime at all. I also get a good amount of vacation and personal days, which I can start using after I've worked there for three months. So far, I don't really have any complaints at all. I'm really glad I was able to find my company and I like my job.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

sounds great, and better than my job, except for the whole accounting thing.
It's actually not accounting related at all. I haven't ever had an accounting job. I've always worked for financial services companies which help invest people's money. Right now I'm mostly auditing certain accounts and making sure they're invested appropriately.
I figured you'd respond that way, what I really mean by accounting is anything related to auditing/accounts/money/finances.
/investment.
I'm glad things are going well for you. MOM
